Understanding the Economy

Understanding the economy focuses on providing insights into the way the various parts of the economy fit together. The title is structured in a way that helps the reader avoid getting lost in a maze of concepts. A question and-answer format is used throughout, the questions being those that feature in economic debates in the media and those that are typically asked by interested nonspecialists. This title attempts to contribute to people's understanding of the economy by explaining key economic concepts, relationships and issues and the linkages between them in a practical and non-technical manner. A few elementary figures and graphs are also used to illustrate and explain certain key relationships.
